Basic epidemiology and immunopathology of RSV in children

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2000
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children. Around 20 000 RSV-infected infants require hospitalization in the UK during each yearly epidemic, which is about 3% of the birth cohort. Most children are infected by 2 years of age.

[Epidemiology and the burden of RSV].

La Revue du praticien, 2022
RSV is an almost obligatory virus responsible for upper (rhinitis and otitis) and lower (bronchiolitis and asthma attack) respiratory infections in children under 5 years of age. Reinfections are frequent at all ages because immunity is only partial and does not last long. Young children under the age of 1 are the most affected.

RSV Through the COVID-19 Pandemic: Burden, Shifting Epidemiology, and Implications for the Future

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2023
AbstractRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) represents a major global healthcare burden, particularly in those under 5 years of age. There is no available vaccine, with treatment limited to supportive care or palivizumab for high‐risk children. Additionally, although a causal relationship has not been established, RSV has been associated with the ...

Epidemiology of hospitalization for acute bronchiolitis in children: differences between RSV and non-RSV bronchiolitis

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2012
We study the clinical, management and outcome differences between respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) positive and negative bronchiolitis. A retrospective review of the medical records of children ≤ 2 years of age with acute bronchiolitis between January 1995 and December 2006 was done.

Epidemiology of RSV and hMPV in Belgium: a 10-year follow-up

Acta Clinica Belgica, 2018
Objectives: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are important respiratory pathogens. Both viral pathogens have similar clinical manifestations. The epidemiology of RSV is well known, that of hMPV is less clear. We reviewed the results of 10 consecutive years of molecular testing for RSV and hMPV in respiratory samples of ...

Epidemiology of RSV-A and RSV-B in Adults and Children with Medically-Attended Acute Respiratory Illness over Three Seasons

2022
Abstract Background RSV is a frequent cause of respiratory illness less often diagnosed outside hospital settings; thus, overall prevalence of RSV-associated illness is under-recognized. Information about presence of RSV among those with chronic conditions is especially needed with recent advances in

Epidemiological and clinical features of hMPV, RSV and RVs infections in young children

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2007
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) has recently been isolated from children with acute respiratory tract infections (RTIs). The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of hMPV infection need further investigation.The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical features of hMPV, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and rhinoviruses (RV) infections in ...
